What is Community Service?
Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits others. It is often done near the area where the volunteers live, so that their community reaps the benefits of their work. Volunteers do not get paid to perform community service, though sometimes food and small gifts, like a t-shirt, are given to them.

Experience has proven that engaging young people in community service provides them with the opportunity to become active members of their community and this has a lasting, positive impact on society at large. Community service or volunteerism enables young people to acquire life skills and knowledge, as well as provide a service to those who need it most.
When young people are actively involved community service projects, they are contributing to the strength of their community while also building the strength of their character. It is important to actively engage youth so that they can go into the world as adults and be confident and productive citizen leaders within their communities.
The SASH-Program strives to nurture a new generation of young change-makers.
